Just got a four banger for my DD. Parked the xj in the garage and dropped the insurance. What first? Will for sure flush and change all the fluids. The rear end sags, recurve the springs or new? Four new shocks, new struts, and coils. Looking hard for a cheap ZJ discs and calipers so I can get rid of the chunky drums. What else should I plan for with the upgraded suspension? Some rust, hopefully no hardware is seized. Whats the beefiest suspension without having to change drive shaft angles and the gear ratios? Still plan on running my 15" wheels. Want aftermarket front and rear bumpers. Run the stock fender flares or bushwackers? Ideas?

pictures so we can see what you have to work with?

 

Just have these couple old ones I found on the hard drive. Will try to take more pics sometime when I'm home. It's a four door 1996 XJ Classic 4wd, pretty much stock. I pulled the carpet out, fixed the floorpan and then had it rhinolined. I put a new PS pump with inline filter in about 7 months ago. Got some wet okole covers for front and back seats. Oh, and an air intake. Pretty sure the valve cover is leaking oil and possibly the oil filter housing seals. Although removing the housing looks challenging. Oil sending unit has teflon tape so its good. Hope it's not the rear main. Bought engine gunk, so I'll clean it good and drive and see.
